I do think the dog pile onto Meghan as being solely responsible for this is unfair. Harry isn’t a shrinking violet, I can’t imagine that if he didn’t want out at all, that any of this would have happened. I don’t know if they could have worked something out where maybe Meghan could step back and Harry continue on as a working royal, or if he could have persuaded her to stay on. But the fact that they both have stepped down, and that they are both leaving the UK, indicates that he did want out to some degree, even if it wasn’t the total exclusion that they were made to do.
I do think that they way that they have stepped down, and how they will live after, is mostly driven by Meghan. I think that Harry probably would have been happy to move to Africa and focus on charity work there in a more low-key capacity. But the move to North America, and building the global Sussex brand and capitalizing from it, and becoming celebrities and influencers, I do think that’s mostly Meghan’s dream and not Harry’s. I think that he is going along with it because he loves his wife, and I think saw how unhappy she was in the UK (I think that the fact that Meghan did not like living in the UK and had seemingly not made any close friends there was a big driving factor in the decision- she didn’t strike me as having much at all in common with Harry’s UK set, and I think she wanted to be near her support system in North America). I think that the whole sudden announcement and the PR stunt of the website and laying out demands was driven by Meghan too.
I will be very interested to see how happy Harry will be in the new life. He has always struck me as being very down to earth and not into all the trappings of royalty and fame. Like I said earlier, I think he would be perfectly happy living a low-key life and focusing on his chosen charities (Invictus Games and Sentebale). I think we’ll see him still focusing on these, of course, but I don’t see him as the type who likes being in the glitz and glamor of the public eye that it seems like this new life they’re creating for themselves will entail.
